Thats a relative thing Dave and isn't a consideration. Just because they
want to be louder then anything else on the dial isn't a problem of the
FM system.


And the problem with DAB radio in this country isn't inherent but in the
way it's implemented?


Yes it is. The whole is rather questionable from the concept of a MUX
owner to ye olde world codec...

Course theres MPEG coding where we throw away information and intensity
stereo and other digital horrors!..


FM stereo compromises audio bandwidth to below what is the norm for
reasonable Hi-Fi equipment.


It does not!, just because it cuts of at 15 kHz rather then 20 kHz is
bugger all to do with it, and you as a sound engineer ought to know
that!..
